INSTALLATION
To meet legal requirements, the LRT transmitter is shipped with the RF output turned off, and the
transmitter set to a ‘nominal’ frequency.
THE EQUIPMENT WILL NOT OPERATE AS SHIPPED
Before operating the device, it is the user’s responsibility to determine
an acceptable frequency and power level and obtain any necessary
licences from the appropriate local authorities to operate the
transmitter.
The data required for a typical licensing submission is given in the
specification section.
The chargers for the LRT system are not certified for use whilst the
receiver is switched on.
The frequency, bandwidth and power settings should only be changed by competent persons who
have a thorough understanding of the legal implications of the local license conditions for radio
transmission.
Transmission with improper settings may be an offence in your location.
The permitted frequency and power should then be set in the transmitter and the transmitter RF
enabled. This is performed using the configuration software provided on the CD. Other factory
parameters for the transmitter should not be changed. However, if the transmitter is to be used
with a pre-installed receiver such as a command vehicle, the transmitter and receiver must be set
to matching configurations. A mismatch between transmitter and receiver may cause the system
to cease functioning. Consult e2v or the command system provider if setting up a system involving
a command vehicle where that system needs priority or to implement higher security settings.
Plug the transmitter into a camera and
turn on. Charge if necessary
beforehand.
Set the camera to transmit.
Connect the serial lead supplied from
the transmitter to the PC serial port or a
serial port adaptor.
Copy the TX and RX setup programme
from the CD to your PC.
Run the TX setup programme.
